At Youth on Course, we are deeply committed to supporting the growth and development of our members—both academically and athletically. Our mission goes beyond just making golf accessible; we aim to provide a comprehensive platform that empowers young athletes to thrive in all aspects of their lives. Since 2008, we’ve awarded over $3.2 million in college scholarships to over 300 deserving students, with 40% being first in their family to attend college.
On National Student-Athlete Day, we proudly honor the dedication, passion, and perseverance of the student-athletes in our Youth on Course community. Whether they’re perfecting their swing on the golf course, competing in other sports, or balancing both, these individuals embody the transformative power of sports to build character, foster resilience, and open doors to lifelong opportunities.
